Two Ontario seniors involved in world’s creakiest fistfight

It's said that many people begin to mellow in their golden years, as the combination of life-earned wisdom and an aging body colludes to create a calmer, more peaceful individual.

While that may be the case for some, two Ontario seniors recently put that theory to the test.

As QMI Agency writes, police in Rowan Falls had to break up a violent scuffle last Thursday between a pair of men at a retirement village meeting after a discussion on the expansion of the resident clubhouse went very wrong.

To provide some context, the clubhouse expansion has become an issue of great debate within the community.

Currently, residents of the complex's 326 units share access to the clubhouse, which boasts a billiards table, a whirlpool and an outdoor pool.

If the expansion gets approved, the work would generate a $500,000 mortgage. The community is divided on whether the renovations should proceed.

So passions were running high when a man who objected to the way the meeting was being run refused to hand over the microphone to the next speaker.

His actions prompted another man to get up and try to wrestle the microphone from his hands.

The result was a fight during which the two battling men fell to the ground and rolled around on the ground in front of around 140 horrified spectators.

Concerned witnesses called the Norfolk OPP. Thankfully, the violence had settled by the time they arrived. No one was hurt.

Police charged a 61-year-old man with assault.

Meanwhile, the community is still reeling from the action.

"Can you imagine this, a bunch of senior citizens?" resident and front row spectator Beryl Barton told the news agency.

"It's the talk of the village right now."
